| The Intermec® use of Micro-Electro
Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based technology offers the first major revolution in
laser-based data collection in 20 years. Intermec Intellibeam™ MEMS-based
powered devices achieve new levels of functionality, reliability, and
sophistication, including much faster scan rates, miniaturization, improved
durability, and frictionless mechanical parts for longer-lasting performance.
MEMS devices combine electronic circuitry with miniaturized mechanical devices.
MEMS is the underlying technology behind antilock brakes and vehicle airbags,
and is used in numerous industrial and commercial products. This white paper
will explain how MEMS are used for bar code scanning; the reliability and
performance advantages MEMS scanners have over traditional lasers, and the
opportunities and limitations for using MEMS-based scanners. |
